As you know more and more smartphones have upgraded to Android7.0 OS, if you still use your old Android5.1 OS, it may be out of date,of course, if you adapt to the old OS and have no experience in upgrading your phone, you can give up. But we believe you would like to try the new fresh Android7.0 rom. Today, UMI official has released the firmware about UMI Superand UMI MAXAndroid7.0 OTA update.

Flash tool operation is recommended for experienced users only. Do not use it if you cannot understand the whole process!
UMI Super receives all updates automatically via FOTA method. You need this tool only in case of emergency (if you’ve bricked your phone), if you want to apply a clean install or if you want to clear all root access and custom recovery to make your phone able to receive FOTA updates again.

WARNING!
Always flash this ROM as ‘Firmware Upgrade’, not ‘Download Only’ if you are upgrading an Android 6.0 system!
